Meanwhile I have poor git skills; I hope retrieving copies via the
web interface hasn't mangled anything.  I'll attach "original
version" copies too.

By the way, how many separate source packages is this?

   Games are played using one of a number of mods.

Treating "full-3D" as a single compound adjective rather than
saying it's modern, and full, and 3D; I'm assuming "in" is a mistake
for "into" (see manpages) just because it makes more sense that way.

Given that it's expanded in the short description you might want to
just say "a modern full-3D RTS game engine".

   .

That phrasing is normal in spoken English, but I would avoid it in
writing.

 + This package provides a single-player and multiplayer lobby for Spring.

Turn the first phrase into a full sentence.  Dealing with the rest
(which has "permit" without an object, a questionable use of
"embeds", and a weak ending) I've ended up completely reorganising
it.

I imagine that RTS players will be more familiar than I was with the
idea of a "lobby" as a piece of software.  To me a "spring lobby"
sounds like a pro-artesian pressure-group, like this lot:
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H2Olympia        
(or various other possible silly interpretations).

Now onward to the man pages:

Description

Spring is a free Real Time Strategy (RTS) game engine originally designed to
play Total Annihilation ((C) 1997 Cavedog) content which has evolved into a general RTS
engine capable of running various kinds of games (mods).

It is mainly designed around online multiplayer games but can be played in
single-player mode against an AI.

This is the dedicated GUI-less server for hosting multiplayer games. You need to
